Jeff Parker began his career as a comic artist and Hollywood
storyboard artist. In 2003, he self-published the acclaimed graphic
novel The Interman and began writing regularly, notably launching
Marvel Adventures- The Avengers. Though the series was aimed at
younger readers, Parker's use of offbeat characters such as MODOK
and Ego the Living Planet quickly developed a vocal and passionate
following among all ages. Parker next revived a classic group of
1950s-era Marvel characters in Agents of Atlas, which quickly
became the sleeper hit of 2006. Parker is one of Marvel's most
prolific writers; his credits also include X-Men- First Class and
Thunderbolts.
Artist Kev Walker got his start on the venerable British comics
magazine 2000 AD, eventually moving on to the publisher's flagship
character Judge Dredd and other popular series. After illustrating
Annihilation- Nova, Walker teamed with writer Fred Van Lente on
Marvel Zombies 3 and 4. He also drew Thunderbolts before joining
Dennis "Hopeless" Hallum in pitting Marvel's youngest heroes
against one another in the kill-or-be-killed Avengers Arena, as
well as the follow-up Avengers Undercover. Walker has worked on
numerous other Avengers titles, the Star Wars series Doctor Aphra
and the latest volume of Dr. Strange.
Artist Declan Shalvey cut his teeth in the U.K. small-press scene
and soon gained mainstream attention for his work on 28 Days Later.
Shortly afterward, he made his Marvel debut on Thunderbolts with
writer Jeff Parker, followed by well-loved arcs on both Venom and
Deadpool. He went on to illustrate the critically acclaimed Moon
Knight relaunch with writer Warren Ellis; the pair again
collaborated on the creator-owned Injection for Image Comics.
Shalvey resides in his native Ireland.
Welsh artist Neil Edwards made a splash with Marvel drawing
Fantastic Four - first collaborating with Bryan Hitch on the latter
part of his run with writer Mark Millar, then splitting time with
Dale Eaglesham during writer Jonathan Hickman's tenure on the
title. Edwards' other notable Marvel credits include Herc, Scarlet
Spider, Warriors Three and the Iron Man- Fatal Frontier Infinite
Comic, as well as lengthy runs on Dark Avengers and X-Factor. He
drew Final Crisis- Escape and JSA vs. Kobra for DC, and Shadowman
for Valiant Entertainment.
